In July, food costs rose to an 11-month high for both non-vegetarians and vegetarians, as per Crisil’s monthly cost tracker
The increase was driven by a 55% month-on-month rise in tomato prices, along with 20% and 16% hikes in onion and potato prices, respectively
Tomato prices rose to ₹66 per kg in July from ₹42 in June, contributing to the increased cost
Onion prices increased by 65% and potato prices by 55% due to lower crop arrivals and production issues, including late blight infestation in key growing regions
